«A Christmas without a minimum of atmosphere for traders and citizens». Limited edition decorations, those of the city of Porto Torres, according to the merchants who protest against the closure of the center on the occasion of events «without a minimum of organization and any marketing operation» with Corso Vittorio Emanuele «closed last Saturday for a " event" which led as many as 20 people to parade behind a van with two musicians playing on it, while our customers let us know that it was impossible to get close to our businesses because some streets were blocked by barriers until late at night".
Off limits via delle Terme, via Basso and via Ponte Romano. «When you arrive from Sassari the signs indicate the truck road instead of the 131, a road that would lead directly to the urban centre. As traders we ask ourselves what the municipal administration's plans are to develop commerce in the city and to bring traffic from the center to the other city streets. We ask to know what you intend to do when the port closes."
The traders category insists on the possibility of a comparison. "We would like to understand if it is clear to anyone that every closure of a road corresponds to a decrease in turnover." And on the lights set up on 12 December they underline: «It is the first time, after many years and many past administrations, that a minimum of bright decorations does not make the streets of the city center and the working-class neighborhoods welcoming and bright. Unlike the neighboring municipalities, even the smallest, in which these activities have been planned and implemented since November." Not even a Christmas tree shines. «We find ourselves just over 10 days from Christmas with a completely dull and unwelcoming city , also pushing residents to frequent the neighboring centers and bring economy and money to those shores». In practice, a "defeat" as some photos and images from recent days and on the day of the Immaculate Conception would demonstrate.
